Extra Details:
Biocytin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Biocytin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Biocytin is a conjugate of D-biotin and L-lysine; where the carboxylate of D-biotin is coupled with the -amine of L-lysine via a secondary amide bond. Biocytin is a classical neuroanatomical tracer commonly used to map brain connectivity. Biocytin is used as a versatile marker in anterograde; retrograde and intracellular neuroanatomical investigations and in biotinidase assays[1][2].
